What is the security slot? What is it for?

Primarily for a retail store or business to anchor the device using a locking mechanism....so the AirPort won't fly away.

Lock for my Pro that won't beat up the Security Slot

I have been looking for a lock for my MacBook Pro. But all the ones I find, based from reviews, tear and beat up the security slot. I have found a lock that connects via the DVI screw slot, but it was out of my price range. If anyone has bought a lock that doesn't tear and beat up their security, plase tell me about it.

Can I change the currency on the secure url when taking payment for a booking?

Hi,
I have a website that takes bookings for training courses, the country of the domain is set to UK.
The events module is inside a webapp. When they view the details layout of the webapp, the booking form is displayed as on the page.
I now want to introduce training in Ireland so I need to be able to take the payment in Euros for these events. What I wanted to do is create a sub-domain and set it to a different country so the payment would be in euros but the site redirects back to the secure URL when viewing the webapp item as a payment is taken on this page. As you can only have one secure URL this causes a problem..
Is there a way to change the currency in the secure domain without changing the country in the domain settings? Can this be done using javascript?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Dean

Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific. Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
Thank you for the reply!

When I open Gmail in Firefox, the secure (padlock) icon appears only for a few seconds; the connection then recycles and goes to the triangle alert icon.

When I open or refresh Gmail in Firefox, the secure padlock icon appears at first, but within a few seconds the connection then refreshes itself without me opening anything or moving the mouse. The secure icon is then replaced by the alert triangle, which displays a message when I hover over it saying "This website does not supply identity information." I have already changed the Images setting to Ask Before Displaying External Images, but it had no effect on this behavior. This same change happens on other secure websites, but not as consistently it does on Gmail.

If there is mixed passive content (e.g. images) then Firefox shows an exclamation mark instead of "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location bar.
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and search for lines with [mixed] to see if that allows to identify the mixed content.

What is the risk of changing the order of the security providers?

I have developed a SFTP solution for Webmethods. Webmethods has IAIK (class iaik.security.provider.IAIK) as its default DH provider. To get the SFTP solution to work, I had to change the DH provider to SunJCE.
I did that through changing the order of the security providers in the
java.security file
in C:\j2sdk1.4.2_13\jre\lib\security
Now it is
security.provider.1=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
security.provider.2=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.3=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider
security.provider.4=com.sun.rsajca.Provider
Before it was
security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
security.provider.2=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider
security.provider.3=com.sun.rsajca.Provider
security.provider.4=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
security.provider.5=sun.security.jgss.SunProvider
A lot of other webmethods services uses the same server, so if we change the order of the security providers, it will affect all of these. So what I want to know is what is the risk of changing the order of the security providers?

What do I do after I got an error after trying to download the security update?

What do I do next when I got an error after trying to download the security update?

Thank you for providing these details. It makes helping you much easier.
You have a 16GB iPad, but have only 2.4GB available. This is likely contributing to the issue. This amount, 15% of the iPad's storage capacity, is the minimum free space you should have. But when updating iOS, you should expect the new version to use somewhat more space than the old. I believe going to Settings > General > Usage and freeing space will help with your issue.
Another recommendation would be to use iTunes on your computer to do the update instead of over-the-air.
I believe either one of these would help you. Both would be at least as good.

What if i send the security question reset thing to my rescue email and the email never comes?

I go to the setting and go to security and press the recur email thing for the security questions and a email for apple never comes ? I tried it 3 times and refreshed my email no emails have come yet.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Security Slot

Why does Apple insist on putting the security slot in the worst possible place? The optimum place would be at the top left or top right corner of the machine, not at the bottom right.
For example, look at the new MacBooks that were just released today. If you put a security cable on it, all of the inputs are blocked!

This is a user to user forum. No one here knows why Apple does what it does. You can ask them yourself by submitting your question on their Product Feedback website.

Security slot damaged........

In order to protect my precious 17" PB, decided to buy the "Kensington Slim Kevlar MicroSaver Lock" about 18 months ago.
Worked fine, until yesterday: the lock just dropped out of the security
slot on the floor.........
What good is a "40% stronger security cable with aircraft grade steel cable and Kevlar brand fiber " if the inside of the security slot on the PB is made
out of cheap plastic?!?!?!?!...................
Has anybody else experienced the same issues?
(fyi, haven't taken it back to Apple just yet, will be interesting to get
their perspective on things.........).

I've never before noticed that the slot's inside is plastic(but, then, I rarely have need/occasion to use a security cable)! That IS a big shortcoming. As they say, a security system is only as strong as it's weakest link. What were the Powerbook's designers thinking??? They really fell down on the job on that one! If a thief yanked pretty hard on a cable-secured PB, the plastic would likely come out and the security cable along with it. Then it's goodbye Powerbook.

Using the Security Manager to restrict access to a single package

After reading up on the Security Manager, the package.access property and the use of the [accessClassInPackage RuntimePermission|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/permissions.html#RuntimePermission] , it seemed to me that it would possible to set up the following: I have a security-sensitive code base packaged in a jar, and I want to make sure that only one client code base that I specify is permitted to access it. The idea here is to prevent malicious code from executing anything in the sensitive code base; the sensitive code is only accessible to one client that I name in a security policy file. Perhaps rather foolishly, I advised a client to consider this before testing out a sample myself, because much to my surprise, it appears to me that it isn't possible to get the Security Manager to do this at all. Am I missing something? I'm a bit startled by this conclusion -- it seems like such an obvious use for the Security Manager, I'm hard-pressed to be believe that it can't be done, and more inclined to suspect that I'm going about it wrong.
Here's what I thought I could do: set up the package.access property so that it denies access to any package; then in the policy file, grant the RuntimePermission/accessClassInPackage to the client code base that is permitted to access the sensitive code.
Of course, you wouldn't want the package.access property to exclude all packages in the global java.security file, because then no code could be accessed at all. It would be necessary to use the trick of resetting the package.access property within the code, as [illustrated in the secure coding guidelines|http://java.sun.com/security/seccodeguide.html#1-1a] .
But the problem lies in the idea of "use the package.access property to deny access to +any+ package". There doesn't seem to be any way to use wildcards or the like with the property -- it has to specifically name packages (or package prefixes) to which access is forbidden. It wouldn't do to try to name the packages to which I'm trying to prevent access, since we're trying to prevent access from malicious code -- the attacker could just choose package names that aren't on the list. I'd really need to say that access is denied to all packages, except for those in the permitted code base, but the security mechanisms for package access don't seem to allow that.
Moreover, the trick of changing the value of package.access can't be done within the client code -- otherwise, the attacker client would just set the property to his own purposes. But it can't really be done within the sensitive package either, because the whole idea is to prevent access to that package, and by the time it's busy setting the property, it's already too late, because the package has to have been accessed by a client to get there at all.
It seems to me that this a symptom of something I've never really understood about the design of the Security Manager -- you can grant permissions to specific code bases, but you can't revoke permissions from specific code bases, let alone all code bases. What I want to do here is grant access permission to one specific code base and revoke it from all others. There doesn't seem to be any way to express that with the mechanisms of the Security Manager.
The more I look at it, the more it seems that there's just no way to use the Security Manager this way -- set up package access so that a specific code base can only be accessed by one specific client code base. There are surely other ways to get the effect that I'm looking for, but as far as I can tell, none of them involve restricting package access (for example: define a custom permission, grant it only to the permitted client. and check against that permission within the sensitive code base; meaning that the sensitive code has to be accessible to anyone in the first place). This conclusion really surprises me (not to mention my bit of embarrassment with the client); wouldn't this be precisely the sort of thing the Security Manager ought to be good for?

You're looking at this back to front. The security policy file is there for the client to decide how much access he is going to give this application, not for to application to restrict who can use it. If you want to control what used to be called 'state orientation' you can do that directly by looking down the stack trace inside your code.

Printer issue, I get to the secure page and can't log in

My printer won't print in black. I have followed all the instructions to fix it. I can not down loard the one help because it is a Vista. I get to the secure page and it asks for my name and password. I am the Admistrator but it doesn't accept any of my names or passwords and locks me out. What name and password is it looking for?

You are aware that all of your purchase made on the old AppleID are forever connected to that one and can't be transfered to a new one.

Kensington security slot worn away on two MBPs

Hi
Two of our MBPs seem to have the same fault: The security slots, which we use with Kensington Microsavers, have worn away, meaning that the Microsaver simply slides out even when locked. There is a plastic sleeve around the opening on the MBP - this seems to be the weak point which wears away. This isn't an issue on other laptops we use, which seem to have more robust metal slots.
This seems like a pretty big design fault. We use our machines in youth centres and they won't last long if we can't lock them to something!
Any other experiences of this?

We've had this happen on 5 of our MacBook Pros so far. The plastic inside the slot is much softer than on previous Apple laptops. The replacement part (bottom case) is about $500 and is not covered by AppleCare.

Security Slot Worn Out

After about 3 weeks of use, the security slot on my MBP is starting to wear out. The lock wiggles around in the slot, whereas it used to be securely attached. I've read several stories about how the slot wears to the point that the lock just comes out.
1. Is there any brand of lock that won't continue to wear it out? I'm using a Kensington MicroSaver DS right now.
2. Will Apple fix this? I'm still under warranty.
3. If they do fix it, have they changed the design at all so that this doesn't happen?
Is there anything I can do? Thanks for reading.

Nope, it's not covered by warrenty. It cost me a couple hundred bucks to have the case replaced on my Powerbook the first year I had it. Now my Macbook Pro is worn after a year. The problem is Apple uses a piece of plastic to line the security slot. That's right, Steve Jobs considers a 1mm thin ring of plastic to be "security." This has been a problem with a Apple notebooks for many years. I've been on the phone with them many times, and, well, Apple doesn't care.
Sorry, but you are SOL.

Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions.
